Timeline

''A note from Uthis: This is basically the condensed version of the Historical Overview. If you want details, read that. Also, years are subject to change as we flesh out the story and time frames. ''

In Tel'arin there are many different theories for how time should be kept, but the main one was adopted from the angels. It documents year zero being the year the Cullenar were cast out of Olympus. Anything after that year was AF (after fall) anything before was PF (pre-fall)

The Age of Dreams: 3000 PF and farther back. The Age of Dreams was the time before the Gods found Tel'arin, when new races grew and peace was all the people knew.

The Age of Blood: 3000 PF- 2400 PF. The Age of the Turmoil was the time when the Gods fought for control of the land, and was won when the Angels pushed the Devil Armies back to the abyss.

The Age of Justice: 2400 PF-2200 PF. When the Angels beat back the Devil Armies, there was a time of prosperity. Light ruled, and darkness was banished from people's thoughts.

The Age of Mortals: 2200 PF-50 PF. The Angels, thinking their work was done, ascended into the skies once more. Humans and other races ruled during this time.

The Age of Destiny: 50 PF to present. The age where the Dreamer prepared to awaken once more (50 PF). The Tempest Angels were thrust out of Olympus (25 PF). Valadin Sashir and his supporters were thrust from Olympus (0 PF). A new era was proclaimed after the Cullenar were formed, transfering from Pre-fall to After-fall. Kindle failed as a chosen of the Dreamer (20 AF).The Undead were created, and Shodar was destroyed (35 AF). Battle of Mount Hayle, where the Lightborne were created (40 AF). The Topaz Heart was formed (85 AF), and the war truly began.

The Future: All the scholars and seers theorize several possible outcomes. If the Battalion emerges victorious, a new age of tranquility will commence under the watch of the Battalion and Arin - that, or a strict, militaristic, and lifeless rule. If the Fallen claim victory, then the world will be left in peace in silence from higher beings, or shadows will descend and the world will go to chaos. If the Topaz Heart is victorious, then Tel'Arin will be the Dreamer's once more, and new prosperity will arise. Perhaps, however, it could spell the end of the world.
